Question
I cooked a vegetable that has passed the time of biur. What is the status of the food?
Answer
For a vegetable, if you only have enough food for 3 meals [meaning an amount of food for each member of the household for one and a half days], there is no obligation of biur. This means if you want the whole family to set the meal on this type for one and a half days. However, it does not mean how much you usually eat of this type over one and a half days. In practice, it is uncommon for someone to hold such a quantity of vegetables that would suffice for him and his household if they were to eat only this vegetable for one and a half days, and therefore there is no obligation of biur. If there is such a quantity, the food is forbidden, and the pot must be purged.
